This is just on the tools. Sometimes people like to specify IP addresses in their config files for endpoints of peers: [Peer] PublicKey=ABCDE Endpoint=[2607:5300:61:14f::c05f:543]:24444 And then they like to call `wg setconf` early on in their init scripts to parse the config file and setup the interface. I pass all endpoints to getaddrinfo, regardless of whether or not its an IP or a hostname, since getaddrinfo is good at deciding what's what and what to do. The problem before was that getaddrinfo would refuse to parse v6 addresses if there wasn't an interface with a v6 address. Removing AI_ADDRCONFIG fixes that. https://git.zx2c4.com/WireGuard/commit/?id=bfe364e18364cdd9a1cb6fa545a3240c93a33c83 _______________________________________________ WireGuard mailing list [email protected] https://lists.zx2c4.com/mailman/listinfo/wireguard
